Linda & Joe
Another pair of wedding figures join the ranks! This time it’s of friends Linda and Joe. Joe is obviously made from a Mattel JL Luthor figure, with some Kneadatite hair and a few paint changes. Linda’s skirt is Super Sculpey over aluminum foil, while the train is left over from (read more...)
